The United States Postal Service has issued two stamps commemorating the Armenian Genocide and urging Recognition of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic…NOT!

But YOU CAN. I just created the above stamps from http://www.yourstamps.com, ordered 40 copies of the Genocide stamp and 20 copies of the Artsakh stamp. These stamps are as valid as the ones with the American flag.  There are other options of creating your own stamps that you can find about at http://www.usps.com/postagesolutions/customizedpostage.htm (for US residents only).

Takuhi Ghasapian (later Maghakian) is my great-grandmother, and if you wonder who is she looking at – the answer is me. This is the one and only photograph with me and my great-grandma (taken in 1986) who survived the Armenian Genocide in the Ottoman Empire with the help of a kind Turkish woman. 

If you live in Canada, you can do the same by visiting https://www.picturepostage.ca/picpostageprod/DispatcherServlet?op=welcome_public&lang=ENGLISH; if in France, visit http://tpp.laposte.fr/accueil.pgi?cmd=afficher; and if in UK, visit http://www.royalmail.com/portal/rm/content2?mediaId=3800008&catId=5200022.

If you want to use my designed stamps, send me an e-mail at [email protected] and I will send you the contents for free.
